#she also likes pop music

[carebooks]

i’m sure someone talked about this when jatp first came out but i just rewatched it in years. (not because i forgot about it, not because i didn’t like it, but because it hurt so much to know this show wasn’t getting renewed and i had to avoid it in order to protect myself)

something i just love about the show is how they never bash on any other types of music. and each character has more than one genre of music to like.

yes, Sunset Curve was a rock band and Julie and the Phantoms are more rock indie/alternative rock band.

but that doesn’t stop Reggie from liking country music, “I shred on the banjo,” and Jeremy Shada later on actually writing and performing “Home Is Where My Horse Is” (which I recommend heavily).

that doesn’t stop Alex from getting into Dirty Candi’s bubblegum pop music and dancing alongside Carrie on stage, (and how hard it must be for Carrie, who’s father is a rock musician, and how his fans must hate that his daughter is a fem bubblegum pop musician)

that doesn’t stop Luke from absolutely going insane over Caleb’s first performance, “The Other Side of Hollywood” with it’s 20’s era vibe and Broadway level intensity. (he was also into more classic rock as shown when he tried playing a song that Bobby/Trevor stole for Julie) (and lets not forget that he can also make the most emotional ballad of alternative rock)

and that doesn’t stop Julie from alternating between piano, rock music, pop verses, love ballads, and indie rock. and she and Flynn never once talk badly about Carrie’s music genre.

everyone can have more than one type of music they’re interested in or just show appreciation for instead of bashing it or disregarding it and i love that this show did this.

u draw jd so spiky i love it

OMG THANKS! I really appreciate that 🥹

There is actually a reason why I draw him so spikey! I wanted him to look like his Dad while also resembling his mom a bit as well. I eventually decided to made all the brothers have bits of resemblance of their parents because of genes LOL

Here's my notes about it! :3

[applecath]

oh my god, I watched the music video for Katy Perry's song you people were talking about. it looks surreal. it's like a parody of feminist ideas and women in general. so, okay, it's called "women's world", so women have power there. and this power is: - wearing high heels (almost every single woman in the frame does) - wearing extremely short shorts or just straight up underwear - fiddling with your chest on camera (and really way too many cleavage shots for a music video ostensibly about female power) - pretending to be men, or being like men in absurd ways (such as pissing standing up - possibly they think that working in construction as a woman is equally absurd?) - waving a pink vibrator around? - reenacting, seemingly, fetish fantasies (plugging in your cyborg legs at the gas station directly into your buttcheek) - mocking genuine female strength/acting like in porn (again!) - such as dragging a huge tractor behind you, while wearing scant clothing and on high heels (with a cleavage shot again, as a bonus) - lot's of make up, of course, and doing beauty routines - plasticly dancing for social media

Just listing all these things doesn't convey the whole impression it gives. The way it's staged, shot, the way the characters move - it's like a campy mocking misogynistic video about women. And, like someone pointed out, the whole song starts with the word "sexy". It's even impressive how off the mark it is.

Rather than trying to prove Gaylor is real and that Taylor Swift is actually just trying to secretly signal that she’s a lesbian, why don’t y’all just go and listen to openly queer artists instead of forming conspiracies to try and make your faves queer instead?

Like it says so much about how people would rather waste their time trying to prove she’s queer instead of y’know looking into queer artists and their music.

It comes across as if y’all don’t actually care about LGBT artists, you just feel like you need some justification as to why you enjoy your faves.

i hate that i can't hate sabrina carpenter bc she's just another blonde white girl but she's really pretty and her songs have cheeky and funny lyrics. i like nonsense feather and espresso is another bop

no LITERALLY… her music is just so up my alley like who doesn’t want to dance in the bathroom while doing their skincare routine and jamming to espresso. her music is for the girls and I’m obsessed w that

[the-eclectic-wonderer]

I’ve been exposed to waaaay too much taylor swift lately, so I went for a walk on the anti tag to cleanse my mind. I’ve seen a lot of commentary about her racism / privilege / climate crimes etc, which is all extremely important ofc, but also, like…

She’s boring. SO boring. The music, the lyrics, the ideas, everything, it’s just the most basic stuff you can imagine, just beige all around.

I get being basic but, like… at least Starbucks drinks have some semblance of taste.

I think the most important thing to understand about Firefly is that while it's true that she is a genetically modified supersoldier with a mech suit from a destroyed world who is part of an intergalactically wanted band of criminals, she is also just some guy. do you get me

oh you don’t listen to pop music? should we tell everyone? should we throw a party? should we invite bon iver

[stinkypeanutbutter]

I’d like to headcanon that some of the squad have shared playlists , and one giant one for them all . They check out each others Spotify or Amazon or YouTube idk what they use anyway they check it out and if it pairs similar to their own , they join together and create one to play when they are chilling or showing to the others . The BIG one is them all together , meaning lots and lots and lots of bickering over what song gets put in and what doesn’t . Usually , it’s just Aiden complaining about the songs he can’t add ( VERY mixed style , some songs are a little too goofy . But don’t worry , he’ll add them on when no one’s looking )

[good-beansdraws]

Yaaay, I got to do an art swap with @kyanako5972 -- here's her wonderful oc Claire Inez, featured in her webcomic SWAP Ensemble 🎶 Claire was a blast to draw, I hope I could do her justice!!

Failed versions include trial song background that just looked lame/unreadable, and the original singing pose that just looked off for some reason...

Listening to My Goodbye and can’t help but

when Odysseus says “you’re selfish and prideful and vain” bc in literally the FIRST TEN PAGES of the translation of the Odyssey I’m reading Athena has already called Zeus a heartless bitch ass motherfucker (not those words exactly, but the VIBES were there) for not helping Odysseus, literally BEGGED the other gods to set him free (I think he’s trapped on Ogygia?) and then proceeded to go befriend and look after his son like bro she’s halfway gearing up to fight Poseidon for you at this point

[britneyshakespeare]

one thing that i think sounds petty, but isn’t, concerning the reputation of britney spears post-conservatorship, is reevaluating the art she has produced and the talents she has always had. i don’t think people who never really appreciated her work before understand that britney spears’ legacy does not deserve to be “a beautiful woman abused and tortured by the media and culture of her time” as this flat, tragipornographic figure. we do that to enough women in history. britney spears is still alive. britney spears is still not even old! listen to her music. talk about her as an artist. stop reducing her to only her personal sufferings, which she never asked to be known for.
